In civil construction projects, retaining walls are often a crucial part of the infrastructure. They provide multiple important purposes within a project, including:
If you’re unsure of whether your future projects may benefit from or require the installation of retaining walls, discuss your plans with retaining wall contractors. Experts in construction can help you plan, design and install these structural supports for long-lasting solutions.
With the diversity of commercial projects, so too does its structural support need to be diverse and adaptable. That’s why there are multiple types of retaining walls to choose from for installation.
Common types of retaining walls and their benefits include:
The gravitational weight of the wall’s materials is used to resist the pressure of the soil behind them. Commonly made from bricks, concrete blocks or masonry, these are one of the most cost-effective and simplest wall solutions.
Reinforced concrete is used as an underground foundation on which the actual walls are built. The inverted T or L-shaped foundation helps the wall stand against the stress of earth pressure. While they take up little space on a property, temporary support may be required during construction to withstand existing slopes.
For larger construction sites requiring deep excavation, underground structures, or protection against landslides, embedded walls are best. They withstand great pressures through internal propping and ground anchors, and are often made from concrete.
These walls are often used for enhancing to appeal of landscaping projects, providing support alongside aesthetics. Wire panels are filled with natural stone or rocks, offering a visual feature while also standing against the soil behind it to act as a strong wall.
There are many more types of retaining walls available, all of which can be customised with new building materials and designs.
If you’re looking for tailored solutions and the right material match with your needs, consider Solve Civil’s retaining wall installation services. Our team has the knowledge and experience to combine functionality with aesthetics on your next project.

We collaborate with our clients and all other teams on board the project, aiming for transparency amongst all parties. That way, we set up a strong foundation for efficient and high-quality work throughout the construction process.

Step 6: Finalisation & Handover
Once our services are completed, we don't just walk away from a project. Rather, Solve Civil takes the time to ensure our retaining wall work can blend seamlessly into future operations.
We take the time to clean up the site, perform final quality checks, and then hand over detailed documentation of our services. This includes all compliance records and guidance for maintenance of your new walls, although Solve Civil is always available to return for more work.

Typically, retaining walls constructed with sleepers are one of the more affordable types to build. Concrete sleepers may be the more commonly used material due to their durability, but timber or pine may offer cheaper alternatives when it comes to materials.
The exact cost of a retaining wall provided by a professional team can vary greatly. It’s dependent on the type of materials used, the size of the project, what retaining wall is being designed, the amount of earthwork required before installation, and many other factors.
Regardless, it’s best to get a quote from a trusted Sydney retaining wall provider to determine how much your job will cost. If any offer a free quote for your design, it can be beneficial to compare costs before finalising your choice.
It’s possible for DIY retaining walls to be built. However, this only applies to smaller, less complex walls, and only with sufficient planning. Building a wall without proper measurements and plans can cost you in materials and effort.
Larger-scale designs should only be constructed by a team of professionals. Not only can it be more dangerous to perform the necessary earthwork and building, but you may not know what local compliance measures are needed. Without submitting paperwork, you may be at risk for significant fines.
The durability of a retaining wall is often dependent on its design, materials, construction quality, and earthworks.
For example, reinforced concrete and natural stone can last for over 70 years with appropriate maintenance. In contrast, wood walls like timber or pine will often remain functional for half of this time.
Discuss what materials will suit your property and needs most with an expert provider to get an educated answer.
